Into the Rabbit Hole
IN ANOTHER MOMENT
“Hmm, Twilight. Are you sure this is the right place?” Fluttershy ask to her friend, who sighs before answering.
“Yes, Fluttershy. For the fifth time, this IS the right way” She answers with small smile looking at her, before continuing to guide the group, including Spike, who was holding a lamp by her side, through the dark rock corridor.
“Hey, Twilight” Applejack calls her attention “I know we're doing this for the better good, but, don't you think this relic is safe enough where it is?” She pointed out “I mean, we had luck to pass by those traps without yours and Rarity’s magic, so I think we don't need to worry about someone bad searching for it”
“I know, Applejack, but, we still can’t risk it” Twilight answers “If the “Eye of Insanity” is as dangerous as the book says, we can’t risk it anyone finding it and using it for evil”
“And also” Rainbow Dash said, flying by Applejack’s side with a smile “This is just like one of Daring Doo's adventures!” She said pumped “The traps, the search for an old and rare relic. All we need is a puzzle and a giant rock rolling!”
“Yeeah. Then let's only hope for the first thing, then” Applejack said rolling her eyes.
“I don't know, I really looking forward for that giant rock” Pinkie said with archaeologist hat and holding a whip.
"Girls!" Twilight gets their attention "it's here" She announces as they stopped in front of a giant door, that had a giant eye in it.
“Now what?” Applejack asks and Twilights consults the book in her back.
“Hang on… here!” She cleans her throat and starts reading “It says “To find true insanity inside, the blood of a true mad one shall be spilled ”. So, we just need to spilled some… blood” Everyone looks in shock to her “Oh boy…. Okay, so we need to spill some blood somewhere” She start looking and found a hole on the ground “It should be there, and then the door should open”
“I don’t know, Twilight” Rarity said concerned “This is a little extreme, don’t you think?”
“I agree, but, unfortunately it’s the only way” Twilight said with sigh and look at her friends “Okay, everyone, start looking for something sharp” The others, still unsure, nod and start looking.
“Sharpy, sharpy, sharpy, shaouch!” Pinkie said in pain “I cut myself in something” She said as her blood fall into the floor and everyone look at the blood making its way into the hole in the ground... and then nothing happening.
“Weird. The blood should had opened the door. Pinkie is very mad, after all” Rainbow said confused.
“Oh, thank you, Dashy” Pinkie thanks with a smile, as Fluttershy approaches at her
“Let me try. I’m madly fast, after all” Rainbow Dash flies to where Pinkie cut herself and finds a spike on the ground. She cut herself and she watches her blood making its way to the hole. And, once again “Ohh, come on!”
“Ohh, thanks, Fluttershy” Pinkie said with a smile to her friend, who just patched her hoof.
“No problem, Pinkie” Fluttershy said and look at Rainbow “Can I patch you up, too?” She asks and Rainbow Dash nods.
“Hmm, let me see here” Twilight starts reading the book, turning the pages with her hoof “Maybe in another page I ouch!” By accident, she cut herself on the paper, and some of her blood drops on the floor and into the hole “Dang it, I really...” She stopped when she heard a loud noise coming from the door, that was being opened, and everyone watches in owe, revealing behind a huge room in darkness.
“Hey, it was about time” Rainbow said with a smile “Let's go”
“Wait, Rainbow Dash!” Twilight stops her friend “How about we see what it’s inside the room BEFORE going inside. I don't want to risk us going straight into a trap...again” She pointed out and Rainbow Dash scratches the back of her head with a small smile. Suddenly, lights start turn on the top of the room, lighting up a rock bridge that allowed them to cross a huge abyss below.
“There it is” Spike pointed to what it was on the end of the bridge “Is that…”
“The Eye of Insanity” Twilight said astonished.
“Finally!” Rainbow Dash said excited “Let’s…”
“Wait” Twilight stop her midsentence “Spike. Write a letter to Celestia, saying where exactly this temple is located and how to get to the relic’s chamber”
“Got it” Spike said with a smile and pick a scroll, a feather and ink from his bag, starting to write.
“And don’t forget to mention that this temple inhibits magic and also instructions to how to pass the traps” Twilight said.
“Got it” Spike said with a salutation and start writing “I will do it in no time”
“Thanks, now we just need to... RAINBOW DASH!” Twilight screams when she catches Rainbow Dash by the relic’s side. She, along with her friends, minus Spike who was very concentrated with the letter, rushes to where she was “What you think you doing?! This thing is dangerous!” Twilight said very worry.
“Relax, Twi, I'm fine” Rainbow says to her “This thing isn't doing nothing”
“Yeah, but you still shouldn't do that” Twilight said and wish “What if something DID happened?”
“Relax Twily, you worry too much” Pinkie Pie said “Nothing happened to her, so everything is good”
After sighing, Twilight nods “Yeah, yeah, I know. It's just....” She looks at the pendant, that weird red opened eye with a dot in the center “I feel something bad coming from it” And she couldn’t look away of its beauty “Something… weird “ She approaches more of it “Something…” She extends her hoof “…calling me” And grab it.
“Twilight!” Applejack said and she and the others try to stop her… but it was too late.
“Hmm, weird” Twilight said normally, having the Eye of Insanity in her hoof “I...have no idea of what just happened”
“We too, darling” Rarity aid concerned “Maybe this pendant does have...” Suddenly, she starts feeling dizzy “...Ahhh, what is...happening?”
“I don't...know, but...” Applejack said, felling the same thing “This sure...isn't...normal” She then start stepping back into the abyss, and fall.
“Applejack!” Rainbow Dash flies to rescue, and luckily she manage to get her in time “That was… very…” Unfortunately, she start feeling dizzy, as well “Close” And both fall into the abyss.
“No...girls!” Fluttershy says dizzy and start flapping her wings “ I...I save you” She tries to fly, but fails and falls as well.
“Fluttershy!” Twilight said, almost falling too.
“My head...not felling...goody” Pinkie said
“Mine too. I think I...I” Rarity couldn't finish her sentence, as she faints backwards into the abyss.
“Got ya” Pinkie manages to get her in time “Haha. That was...” She suddenly faints and both fall.
“No...girls...!” Twilight said with her vision getting more blurry. She then look back at the relic in her hands, and see that the eye was shining in a red light “You...did...this” She starts stepping backwards “Didn't...you...?” And then, all was darkness.
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
ATTENTION
Everything is going to be fine, everything is going to be fine… Twilight was repeatedly thinking this to herself, since the moment she was put inside this bamboo cage with Applejack and Fluttershy, with their hands tied up and their mouth shut by duck tape.
The three friends were inside a bamboo cage, with their hands tied up and their mouths shut by duck tape, and not to mention scared for their lives, principally Fluttershy who was crying. They were there since morning, and now that was night, they could feel the cold breeze from the jungle, and not to mention hungry.
“So, what we have here?” They hear a new voice and then see a man approaching at the cage. He had a red tanktop, dark moohawk and eyes that show true madness “More chiquitas, hmm?” The man crouch and look at them with a smile “Gotta say, from all the...six of you. You, hermana” He points at Twilight “Are my favorite”
What? Twilight was confused.
“Wait, wait, wait. Why are you crying, amiga?” The man notices Fluttershy crying and looks at her “What is it? Am I being scary?” He then gets up with a giggle “How about this. Let's start with the...right foot, hmm?” He then playfully bow to them “My name is Vaas Montenegro” He then extend his arms and slowly spin around “And you girls are in one of the best suites in my beautiful pirate camp” He crouch again and look at them “Now, how about you girls tell me your names?” He asks, looking at each one of them like he was waiting for an answer, that they obviously couldn't give “Hmm, I see that you girls have a little problem to answer. But no worries” He then look at Fluttershy again “See, amiga? I’m not that scary anymore, am I?” He ask her, and Fluttershy was obviously still crying in even more fear “Shhh, don't cry, my dear. Everything is fine” Vaas put a hand on her head and cuddle her, making Fluttershy even more uncomfortable “Stop crying, amiga!” He said, more serious this time, but Fluttershy couldn’t stop crying “STOP FUCKING CRYING!” Vaas suddenly snaps and holds Fluttershy’s hair, violently shaking her head “I SAID STOP CRYING!” He makes her look directly at his eyes “YOU three are nothing more than bitches, ok?” He asks her with a sinister grin “You either do as I say, or you die. So STOP. FUCKING. CRYING!” He shakes her again, more violently.
“MMHMHMHM” Applejack tries speaks, like she was threatening him, and then Vaas look at her.
“What? What was that?” He asks smiling “You want me to stop?” He shake Fluttershy's head even more “Make me, then!” He laughs a bit as he continued to shake her “You know what?” He stop shaking her and let go of her head “I have an idea!” He opens the cage and pick up a knife, cutting free one of Applejack's arm “If you are such big balls, then...” He then picks up what looked to be a small version of the machine that the other pirates use and put in Applejack's hand, holding it so that she won't drop “...shoot me” He then put the barrel of the weapon on his head “Come on, kill me”
Kill him?! Twilight though. The man was looking at her straight in her eyes, and he looked serious about it while grinning. She simply looks at Applejack and how nervous he looked.
“Come on, shoot me, you cowbitch!” Vaas said, and Applejack begins to breathe heavily and starts sweating “SHOOT ME ALREADY, MOTHER FUCKER! COME OOON!” He screams at her and then pulls the weapon out of her hand and slap her “The fuck is wrong with you? You could have killed me, here and now, and maybe end all of this!” He tie her hand again and locked the gate again “You know” He crouches again and look at Twilight “Your friend have luck that the one who gives me my paycheck want the six of you alive. Because, if it was for me” He do a little whisper as he points two finger on his head “It would be the end of the line for the little cowgirl. Bam” He takes his hand of his head and continued “BUT, thanks to some good people around to world that LOVE a fresh teenager, you will live until the money appears. Isn't that good?” He asks giggling as he gets up “Now, unfortunately, I believe our time has ended” He start stepping backwards, still looking at them “Until we meet again, mi ladies” He bow once more and then turns around and walks away, leaving one of his pirates to guard them.
By Celestia, who is that… man? Twilight thinks to herself If this pirates are the kind of people in this jungle, then I think our chances of escaping are very minimum He sighs in defeat, looking down at the groun NO She shakes her head I can’t lose faith now! My friends are in dangerous and I can’t leave them She look back at Fluttershy, who was crying, and Applejack, who was looking down I won’t let them die here. I will save them She then look at the Moon But, all I can do now is wait for a miracle With another sigh she close her eyes, trying to get some rest and maybe a idea of what she can…
“The fuck?” She heard the pirate guarding them saying and opens her eyes and she sees him walking away. When he was out of sight, two other persons, not looking to be pirates, appears. One was a strong man with a red t-shirt and the other was a regular one with blue t-shirt.
“Hey, J, look” The one with red shirt said silently to his friend and points at them “More hostages” He approach at them and then FLuttershy starts panicking “Hey, hey, relax” The man in red shirt raise his hands “I’m using a red shirt, but I’m not with those fuckers” He said with a sincere smile, and Fluttershy seems to believe in him, as she calms down
Looks like our miracles appeared Twilgith thinks in relief.
“Grant. We need to get out of here!” The blue shirt man said worry, but quietly “If they find us, they...”
“Jason, Jason, Calm down” Grant hold Jason's shoulder, looking him in the eyes “We can't just leave them here. One thing that I learn on the army is to never let anyone behind” He said serious, and, after some seconds, Jason nods.
“Okay, okay” He said and turn around “I going to keep an eye in case I see someone coming” With that said, Grant tap his back and smile.
“That's my brother” Grant said and put his hands on his pocket, while Jason was looking for anyone approaching Got it Grant said and pulls out of his pocket a pair of keys “Now, to…”
“Shit, Grant!” Jason calls his brother’s attention “He is coming back!” Jason said with fear.
“Fuck” Grant said and look back at the girls “Stay calm, I take care of him” With that said, him and Jason hide behind some barrels close by, hiding from the pirate returning to his post
“Fucking jungle” The pirate said as he walk back. He look at the girls and approach at the cage, crouching to look at them with a grin “Hehehe, the boss said you bitches are worth some cash, and I can see why” Without him notice, Grant starts approaching from behind quietly “I won't mind taking away your v cards, chicas” He then look directly at Fluttershy “Principally from Haaggghhh...” Grant holds him by his neck with his arms, bringing him to the ground, and with a quick snap, the pirate stop moving.
“Nighty night, pal” Grant said and proceeds to open the cage “Now, to get you girls free” he picks a knife from the pirate’s body and cut free their arms, and the girls take the duck tape off their mouths “Done. Now you girls can…”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you...” Fluttershy suddenly hugs Grant, still crying but more relief
“Hey, no problem” Grant said with a smile and gently pulls his off “But I suggest that you girls escape now” He said “We aren’t truly safe in this madhouse”
“I know… but we can’t yet” Twilight said serious.
“What you mean, Sugarcube?” Applejack asks.
“Our friends may still be here. But, if they aren’t here, then we need to discover where they are” Twilight answers “We can't just leave them”
Fluttershy and Applejack look at each other and then they nod in agreement and look abck at Twilight “Your right. We can't leave them” Applejack said determined.
“Yes. Even if they are scary, murders, psychopaths, brutal and crazy pirates” Fluttershy said, but soon snap out of it and continued “Even if they are all that, our friends are still in danger”
“Heh” Twilight notices Grant smiling at them “Well, I would love to help you girls, but I need to get my brother out of here and find our friends and brother, too” He puts a hand on Twilights shoulder “I wish you girls luck. Until we meet again” With this he look at his brother “Let’s go, Jason”
“Yeah, okay” Jason nods and follow his brother “Good luck for you, girls”
“Thanks, Sugarcube” Applejack said and Jason and Grant were away.
With just them, now, they nod at each other and they start their search for their friends. A search that, hopefully, won’t kill them.
What they were doing, was easilly one of the most dificult missions in their entire life. The three girls were being the most quiet as they could, because if they were found out of their cages, death woud simply be their punishment, and they don't wish another "conversation" with that...man, Vaas.
Come on, it have to be something about them somewhere Twilight thinks as she pass by pirates, dogs and other things, with her friends. They didn't know exactly where to look, but they couldn't just leave their friends behinds, they, at least, have to try finding some clue. Like that man, Grand, said, they won't leave anyone behind.
"Twilight, where do you think we may find them?" Applejack whisper to Twilight.
"I sincerely don't know, but it should be somewhere around here" She answer here I should have asked that man if he saw my friends, dang it She think to herself, felling kinda stupid for not asking, as they countinued to sneak they way around.
"Ahhh" Twilight hear Fluttershy stumble in something and fall on the ground "Ouch!"
"The fuck was that?" They heard a pirate close by, and worst, they heard a dog too, that was with him, and he wasn't happy "Did you find someone, D.D?" The man talk to the dog and they could hear him aprouching.
"Oh no. No, no, no, no" Twilight said quietly, panicking.
"Girls! Here!" Applejack quietly call their friends and points to a cabin's window. They quickly jump inside, carefuly to don't do any more noise, and then just wait until the man go away.
"Hmm" They heard him, who was probably looking for the source of the sound "Nothing, maybe I need to stop with the cocain, or maybe not. Let's go, D" Thankfully the man said and the girls hear him going away, but his dog start barking like he had found them "Shut up!" Luckly, the pirate didn't care and start dragging away the dog with him "You have luck that I like you, or else" With him away, the three girls relaxed a bit.
"That was close" Twilight said.
"I'm sorry" Fluttershy said, looking down depressed "We almost got caught because of me"
Felling bad for her friend, Twilight cheer her up "Hey, don't worry. It was a acident" She said smiling and Fluttershy look to her, and smile.
"Hey, girls, come see this" Applejack call them, and so they got up and walk to the table to what she was looking at. On the table they found some objects: a binoculars, a little black box with a antenna, that Twilight recognized being a wakie-talkie, a small similar weapon that that "men" Vaas had and a map, with some pictures in it. No, THEIR pictures in it.
"This is us!" Twilight said and give a close inspection. Their photos we're spread around a map of two islands called "Rook Islands". Their photos were on the island on the top of the map, but unfortunatly, none of them were in the same place, only their three pictures, that were together in a single place, probably being this camp "They are not here" Twilight said, sad and angry "Darn it"
"Hey, calm down. We will find them, but first, we need to get out of here" Applejack said "Let's take this map, it will help us" She said and pick the map, taking the photos off, and rolling it "Hey, Twi" She call her friend and point to a bagpack on a chair "Take that bag, so we can take this stuff with us. They may be usefull"
She do as she said and go take it. She opened and found some itens inside: a notebook, a camera and a item that she recognized, from her times with Sunset Shimmers, being a Tablet. Taking to Applejack, she began to put everything inside, and then close it " Okay, now let's get out of here" Twilight said and they start making they way out.
When leaving the cabin, the sneak pass every pirate and dog they see, once again. It wasn't easy, obviously, but they had no other choice to get out. After some time sneaking they find a away out that lead to the forest, they just had to pass by a pirate that was sitting on a chair, talking on a radio with someone. Luckly, he was on his back to them "Awesome, let's go" Applejack said.
"So, the pink girl is in there, with those two new girls too?" They heard a pirate speaking, and they stop when mention a "pink girl", that have high chances of being Pinkie. Getting a little more close, and hiding behind some barrels, they start hearing this conversation "I see, I go there to transport them when I can...yeah, I know, asshole. It's the camp that is close from that village from those savages"
"Village of savages?" Twilight whisper.
"So Pinkie is in a camp, close from a village" Applejack whisper with a smile, looking to her friends "Now we know where we can find her!"
*BANG*
"AHHH" A loud sound scare Fluttershy, making her scream, by accident, and she and the others hid, hoping that he didn't notice them
"What the fuck?!" The pirate said "I know you in there" He points his gun at the barrels. Yup, he noticed them "Show yourself, mother fucker!" The girls didn't have the courage to get up. They just stayed in there, thinking in what they could do, which wasn't much. But Applejack was thinking in something "I going to count to three, and if you don't get up until then, you're dead!" Now things got bad, and Applejack is the one to act, picking a rock from the ground "One!"
"When I say "go", we start running, alright?" Applejack whisper to them and get in position to run.
"Two!" Twilight and Fluttershy get in position too, just waiting for the sign "THREE ARGHH"
"NOW!" Apllejack scream, after throwing the rock at the pirate, and so the 3 friends start running into the jungle for their lifes . And at the distance, they could hear a man screaming.
"RUN, FORREST! RUN!"
You Never Forget the First
OH CELESTIA, OH CELESTIA, OH CELESTIA Twilight's mind repeteadly scream as she and her friends continued run as fast as they could away from the pirate's camp, with pirates chasing them. Their fear was so much, that they didn't even have courage to look behind them, with the fear of tripping in something and falling
"FASTER" Applejack scream in panic. They could hear the pirates screaming at them as they dodge tress, rocks, animals and some little things that pass by them from behind.
Twilight's heart was beating much faster. This adrenaline along with the fear of death was something she do not wanted to experience. At a distance, she saw the end of their road and that they had to jump, so she alert the others "GIRLS! PREPARE TO JUMP!" She scream at them and Fluttershy and Applejack prepare themselfs. When they reach the end of the road, Twilight close her eyes and then they all jump...and brutally fall on the ground, rolling down and falling into a pool of mud "Ahh, darn it, this hurt like Tartarus" Getting up, she check on her friends "Is everyone ok"
"Ouch, almost, Twilight" Applejack said, getting up in pain.
"My back hurt a bit" Fluttershy said, on the ground.
"Here, let me help you...hmm?" Twilight was about to help her friends, but a light coming from the sky interrupt her. Looking at the source, she see the light wasn't coming from the sky, it was coming from....
"I FOUND THEM!!" A pirate.
"Oh no!" After quickly helping Fluttershy stand, Twilight and the other start running again. As they run, she felt a wierd smell, and then notice that it was coming from her. Urrgg, this is something that Rarity would not like to have in her...oh, Rarity She start thinking about her friend, and then in the rest of her lost friends, wishing that they were ok and safe. She remember what she heard from the pirate talking on the radio, about a girl with pink girl, probably being Pinkie Pie, being in a camp close to a village of savages. This was good, at least they had a lead to one of their friends, but she can't help but wonder, who were this "savages".
"Girls, that cave!" Applejack said and pointed to a cave close by. With no better choices, then run into inside, and hid.
They wait some time before moving "Where are they?" A pirate ask.
"I don't know, but find them!" Another said.
"Pss, girls" Fluttershy calm them, quietly "We can escape trought here" She points to more forward at the cave.
"Perfect, let's go" Twilight whisper to them, and they continued their way throught the cave
"So, what do we do when we escape them?" Applejack ask.
"We go find Pinkie" Twilight said "That pirate said she was in one of their camps, close from a village of savages. So we find this village, then we find this camp and then we save our friend"
"And how are going to save her? If you don't mind me asking" Fluttershy ask
"And how are we going to find the others" Now Applejack ask
Sighting, Twilight answer "We can think abou this when we escape from..."
"GOTCHA, BIAAAAATCH!!" A pirate scream as he run right into Fluttershy, with a knife in his hand. This surprise Twilight, making she fall into the ground "STAY STILL!!"
"GET AWAY FROM HER" Applejack scream at him, trying to pull him away from poor Fluttershy, who was screaming for her life.
What anyone didn't notice, was the gun that the pirate let fall. Anyone didn't notice this, minus Twilight. She picked up the weapon, and by the little that she knew about it, she try to use it. Pointing at the pirate, she notice that it was a bit heavy, but she didn't have time to inspect the gun, she had a friend to save. With her finger on the trigger, she close her eyes and pull it...*BANG* "AHHHH" Applejack? She open her eyes and see Applejack on the ground in pain, with a hole on her leg and bleeding.
"You fucking HOOKER!!" The pirate said and run into her, holding the gun and trying to pull out lf her hand, but Twi wasn't allowing "LET IT GO, ASSHOLE!" Both where fighting to pull the gun out of the hand of the other. Twilight was doing her best to don't let he have the gun, because if she fail, she and her friends would die " LET GO!!"
"NO!" She scream back.
"LET GO, BITCH!!"
"NOO!"
I SAID LET. IT. GOOOO..." *BANG* One of them pull the trigger, and it was Twilight, who just put a hole in the middle of his face, spreading blood on her face. As the body dropped dead, Twilight not moved, in shock from what she just did. She just killed someone.
"Twilight?" Fluttershy ask, but Twilight didn't answer, but begins to breath heavilly and begin to look at her hand "Twilight?" Again no answer, but begins to breath much more heavilly and look directly into the gun "Twilight, are you..."
"AHHHHH..." Twilight scream. I can't believe what I did?!? What have I done! I just killed a human, I just killed a human, I just...
*SLAP* "Twilight!" Fluttershy slapped her, and works since she stopped screaming "Please, I need your help. We need to take Applejack out of here, and I can't do this without you! Please, help me!"
Twilight was breathing heavilly. Fluttershy was right. This wasn't the time to freak out about...about this. Her friends need her help, and she won't leave them hanging "Help me getting her up" Twilight said to Fluttershy, and both hold Applejack, who had passed out, and raise her.
"I FOUND THEM! THEY ARE HERE!" A pirate, who saw them, scream to the others.
"Dang it, let's go" Twilight said, and she and Fluttershy start running away, while carring Applejack.
After some more running, they reach the end of the cave, that lead to a waterfall. They stopped on the edge of the waterfall, and see how much high it was. And after a little inspection, they see it was one Tartarus of a fall "Perfect, what now?!"
"DON'T MOVE, MOTHERFUCKERS!!" A pirate scream to them pointing his gun at them, along with other pirates as well "We got you bitches, now hehehe"
Twilight's mind was racing, trying to think on a way to escape this mouse trap, but only one idea had chances of working, but very low chances "Fluttershy, do you trust me?" She ask her friend, who look at her with a confuse glare, until she understand what she was planning.
"Sincerely. With my life, but in this moment..." Fluttershy start saying "I'm don't have sure"
The two friends start stepping backwards, slowly "Hey, stop right there, fuckers!" A pirate notice they moving, but they didn't stop "I said, stop right there!! I'm going to shot you right in the eyes, I swear!" Twilight and Fluttershy reach the end of the moutain, and now they needed to do one last thing: jump. May the sisters help us in this moment of despair Closing her eyes, the two friends fall, and after some seconds, they hit, with force, the water, forcing them to separate from each other.
As they were pushed by the water flow, Twilight tried to regain her composure and get out of the water, but the water flow was too strong, and she was almost losing her breath. She was sure that this is were she would die. She was already losing her contience and soon she was sure she will lose her life, as well. When she reach a more calm part of the water, she didn't have the strenght to get out, and just accept her destiny. But before she black out completely, she see...a hand picking her arm, and a voice before passing out "DENNIS, WE FOUND ONE MORE"
Author's Note
Hello, Hermanas and Hermanos.
The "Savages" and the Warrior.
The jungle speaks through the warrior. The Path leads to the heart of the jungle. Follow the path...and you will find the answer
Twilight was begining to recover her consciousness, and as she she open her eyes, she see that she was in a...room? Raising a bit her head she see that she was indeed in a room of a poorly house, and that she was in a bed "Where am I?" She ask herself.
"Ahh, you are awake" A voice answer her. Looking to the left, she see a black human with black beard and and a collar with big circle made of rock on his neck , and he was doing something with her left arm "My name is..."
"Who are you? What you did to my friends" She didn't let him finish as she start panicking. She was still weak, so she couldn't move much, but a part of her body she wasn't felling at all, and it was her left arm "Why can't I fell my arm? Why can't I fell my left arm?!? Why can't..." The human slap her and hold her shoulder, and look into her eyes.
"Calm down, Twilight. I'm not going to hurt you. It was me and some Rakyats who rescued you and your friends from the river" The man said with truth in his voice, and let go her shoulder and sit back on the chair, holding her arm "And as I was saying, I'm Dennis. And the reason you can't fell you arm is because it is deadened for the tatau" He said, looking to the new tattoo in her arm.
"Tatau? What is it? Actually, how do you know my name?" She ask, sitting in the bed.
"You aren't the first one to awake. Your friends woke up first and they explain what happened" Dennis answer her "And I must say, you have unluck to get into this island, that is being domained by a corrupted warrior and his army of pirates"
"Vaas" She simply said, knowing this "corrupted warrior ".
"Yes. But, not everything is lost" Dennis said "You, along with Jason and your friends, escaped Vaas's camp alive, and this is a sign about something, a sign of hope, and what proves this, is your tatau" He said, motioning to her arm, and so she give a close inspection on her "tatau", and see that it isn't much "The tatau of the warrior, and you, your friends and Jason Brody, are warriors, I can see that"
"I just hope this help me save my friends" She said sad, remembering her actual situation.
"Ahh yes, you friends tell me about this. But, now you need to eat" He said and help her get up. Now on her feets, she notice something. She was with diferent clothes.
"Hey, what happened with my clothes?" She ask looking at her new clothes. She was using a t-shirt with a jeans jacket, cargo pants and soldier boots.
"They were in no state of reusing, so we change your clothes while you where incountience "Dennis told her, and she blush to just think in how this went "And don't you worry, our female warriors are the ones who did this job. We Rakyats are not like those pirates" He honestly said and go to the door and hold it open "Now let's go, we are commemorating in your, and the others, honor" She go and pass by the door, and see that she was in a village, with a lot of human commemorating, probably by what Dennis just told her "Welcome, to Amanaki Village" Dennis said and Twi look around the village, that was rather big.
The villagers, like Dennis said, were commemorating in her and in the others, that hopefully were her friends, honor. Some of them were around a camp fire, were a pig was being fried, while other were around the vilkage, eating, drinking or talking "Nice...village"
"Thanks, my friend" Dennis said "This island only call for the strongest. It called for me, and it called..." He the points at her "...for you" He then glared to the other vilagers "SEMALAT TENGAHARI" He start annoucing, in their own languague by the looks of it "HERE IS TWILIGHT SPARKLE. THE LAST ONE WHO ESCAPED VAAS'S CAMP ALIVE!" They cheer in her honors, and she just gave a small wave back, blushing. Also, looking at the villagers on the camp fire, the man with blue shirt kinda looked like....
"TWILIGHT" She heard both Applejack and Fluttershy voices, and she see them rushing into her, smashing her into a hug "We were so worry about you, Sugarcube" Applejack said.
"Oh Twi, we though we had lost you" Fluttershy said in verge of tears.
"Fluttershy, Applejack, is so good to see you two" Twilight said, almost crying "I was so worry" The two friends let her go, and Twilight notice that both her friends where using different clothes, like her. Applejack was using a white t-shirt, blue pants and her classic boots along with her classic hat. Fluttershy was using a sleeveless shirt, camouflage cargo pants and black boots that was over the pants.
"Thank you, Dennis" Applejack said, looking at the black man with glasses "There is a way to repay you?"
"There no need for that, Applejack. This..." Dennis made a suddendly stop "Actually, there is something. That man..." He motioned to the man with blue shirt "...also escaped Vaas's camp, but he lost someone too. Can you three try talk to him, and maybe become friends with him" Dennis them puts his hand on Twilight's shoulder, giving her a friendky smile "I feel that you all will achieve great things together"
Twilight tries to undertand what he meant by this, but she accepts anyway "You can count on us, Dennis"
"Thank you" Dennis said and clap his hands "I talk with you all soon, I need to talk with someone. Until soon" He said and walks away.
"Bye" Twilight said, giving a small wave, along with her friend, and then look at her friends "Well, let's go" She said, and then they go to the man with blue shirt.
Behind him, Twilights taps his back "Excuse me"
"Hm? Yes?" Twilight recognized his voice from somewhere, and when he turns around, she finally remember him "Oh, it's you three! You made out! That's good"
"You too. I'm happy to see you also escaped that place, mr..." Twilights tries to remember his name.
"Jason. Jason Brody" Jason said "Why don't you girls sit?" He motioning to the free spots on the camp fire.
They do as he said, sitting and decide to continue their chat "Well, I think is time to introduce ourselfs" Twilight said and motioned to herself "My name is Twilight Sparkle" She then motioned to her friends "And that's Applejack"
"Howdy"
"And Fluttershy"
"Hi"
Jason raise his brown, confuse for her names "Well...that's are some unique names, you know?"
"Really? Why?" Applejack ask.
"Because...never mind" Jason gaves up, and decides to change the subject of the talk. For some time their we're talking and eating what was being oferred by the locals. While Jason eated more meat, that he strongly needed, the girls decided to stick with fruits and vegetables.
"So, how did you three end up in this...hell hole" Jason ask, finishing his pig.
"Well, we three, along with 4 other friends, were exploring a cave, in search of a artefact knowed as "The Eye of Insanity ". When we got it, we black it out and when we woke up, we were here"
"Jeezs" Jason said "And where are you other friends? They...died?"
Hearing this made Twi and the other nervous, but they quickly calmed down "We hope not. When those pirates capture us, they knocked us out. When I woke up, I was in a bambu cage with them..." She motions to her friends "...and no sign of the others"
"I'm sorry" Jason said.
"Thanks" Twilight thanks him with a smile "But I won't give up in searching for them. They are here somewhere, and won't let them down"
"And I'm also not giving up in finding them" Fluttershy said.
"Me too. I won't give up so easily" Applejck said. Jason smile at this little moment. It was heart warming to see such true bond of friendship, somehow "Oh yeah, and where is your brother?" This made Jason stop, looking st the ground with small tears coming out of his eyes.
"Jason, what happen? Did..." Twilight stop, when he remember what Dennis said He lost someone too "Oh Celestia. Did he..."
"Yes" Jason coldly answer "When we where about to be free, that man with a mohawk shot him"
"I-I didn't have no idea" Applejack said, felling bad for bringing this up "I'm sorry" She said, with a hand on his back.
"It's okay" Jason answer, clearinf his eyed and looking at them "But I promise at that moment that I would rescue my little brother, my girlfriend and three other friends from those assholes" He said with determination "I won't give up on them"
"Then why you three don't join forces?" Dennis appear suddendly
"Dennis!" Twilight said in surprise.
"Is good to see you four bonding, and also, I got a gift for you all" Dennis said and the group get's up, wondering what it is "Here" Dennis than take some green papers from his pocket and extend to Jason to pick up.
"What is this for" Applejack ask,
"Cash for weapons" Dennis answer, and the four survivors become nervous and making Jason not picking up.
"You mean...like the ones that those pirates have?" Fluttershy ask.
"Or course!" Dennis answer.
"I-I'm not sure" Jason said, stepping back a bit.
"Me too" Twilight also said, remembering what happen last time she tried use this weapons.
"You want to save your brother, right?" Dennis ask Jason "And you girls want to save you friends" He then said looking at Twilight and her friends.
"Is that I never shot anyone before" Jason said, and Dennis look at him with a small smile.
"What to they said in America?" He ask with his arms extend to the sides "There's a first time...for everything" He said and then extend the cash to Jason pick it up, again. After looking at the girls, who where also not sure about this, Jason decides to pick up. With the cash in hands, Dennis put one of his hand on Jason's back, and directed him to a "General Store" with the other.
Jason's only though about this was simple How did I get myself into this
Author's Note
And now, Jason joins the party.
The Basics part 1 - Signal from the losts
On the Market, they bought 4 1911 pistols, and they also got holster for them as a "first buy bonus". They also received 4 little bags, with some equipment inside in each one, and 3 machetes for the girl, since Jason already had one from Dennis. After getting the stuff, the granny that runs the place told them that if they put radio towers back online she would be able to get new stock from the remote villagers. The only problem to them was to know how they would do that, and also they were wondering why she was asking to them and not for someone more experient.
Leaving the store, they follow Dennis to outside the village and he told them about the radio tower. He said that their we're being using by Vaas, who put something on them to block access, and said that this tower may be usefull for the group. He mentioned that if they climb them all they would "reveal the map ". Jason got confuse by this, until he picked up his tablet, from his bag, and try to locate him with the map, but he only saw nothing, so if he wanted to see the map, he was going to need to freed those tower from the pirates, or just use a normal map, instead. Also, he notice that he recieved a menssage from an anonymous person.
Before they start climbing thr tower, they decided to practice their aim with the pistols they bought. Jason was the first one, and he was doing very well "Very impressing, Jason" Dennis praise him "I though you didn't know how to use them"
"Well, my brother was in the army, so he teached me how to use some gun" Jason said to him, and decided to let Applejack try.
"Hmm, I see" Dennis said "Still, I can see talent on you, my friend"
*BANG* "Dang it" Applejack said, as the missed the target and she tries again, but missed as well. Thanks to her strenght, the recoil wasn't the problem "I don't know how you do it, Sugarcube, this thing is hard to use"
"Just relaxe, take a deep breath, focus on the target and pull the trigger. That's what...Grant told me when he was teaching me" Jason simply said, felling a bit of pain in his chest for mentioning his brother.
Trying what he said, Apple take a deep breath, aim in the target, focusing on the middle, and pulls the trigger *BANG* "Ooooee" She said happy. She didn't hit the middle, like Jason, but she hit pretty close. Felling just a bit cocky, she shot more 3 times "Now that's better" She said with a smile and look at Jason "Thanks, pal"
"No worries"
Looking at Fluttershy, who was nervours as Tartarus and just staring to her pistol "Come on, Fluttershy" Applejack said to her and put a hand on her shoulder, giving her smile "You can doing" After a deep breath, Fluttershy decides to try. Follow Jason's instructions, she aim at the target, deep another deep breath, focused, but before pulling the trigget, she close her eyes.....*BANG* "Ahh!" She said scared and drops the gun, holding her hands "It hurts"
"Yeah, if don't have strong hand, this things can be a challenge" Dennis said to her "But don't worry, you get use to it"
"W-well, I think I'm going to skip this, if you don't mind" She said.
"It's ok, my friend" Dennis said, and look at Twilight, who was sitting on the ground, looking directly at her pistol "Twilight, you want to try?"
"Hey, what's wrong Sugarcube?" Applejack ask her, with Fluttershy on her side "It's okay if it is a bit hard, I can give you a hoof if you..."
"It's not that!" Twilight said "It's that..." She then remember what she did "...the last time I used one of this weapons, I ended up hurting you" She said, hiding her face on her arms.
"Oh" Applejack said, looking at the leg that had a little hole in it So, that was the cause "Hey, don't worry about it" She said, keeling down by her side "It was a accident, and the injured is getting better, so don't fell bad about it. So, please, for me, Fluttershy and for the rest of our friends lost somewhere, don't stop for just trying because of this mistake" She said to her. After some thoughs, Twilight noticed that she was right. If she wanted to help her friends, she need to know how to use this...guns.
Getting up, Twi look at her pistol and sigh. Walking to the front of the target, she take aim, breath deeply, close her eyes and finally pulls the trigger only thinking to herself I'm probably going to miss *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
"Nice shooting"
"Holy shit"
"Very impressing"
"Hmm?" She was confuse. Opening her eyes, she see in the middle of the target some holes"I...hit it?"
"You kidding me? You nailed!" Jason said impressed.
"I agreed with him, Twilight" Dennis said with a smile "I didn't have any idea we had such good shooter with us!"
"Well, actually" She look directly at her pistol I never used one of this thing "This is the first time I used one of this" She said, also confused.
"Well, than it's no doubt that you have borned with a natural talent" Dennis said "One more sign that you deserve the Tatau" He said, but Twilight was still confuse "Now, to the radio tower" He said and pointed to a station up on the mountain "Cilmb and free it from the pirates's power. I'm going to wait here for you're next step" He said, and so the group start walking to the top of the radio tower.
As they we're walking to the top, they decided to talk a little bit "So, how did you get here, Jason?" Applejack ask "That is, if you are ok talking about this"
"Sure, no problem" Jason start talking "Me, my brothers Grand and Riley, my friends Keith, Oliver, Daisy and Vincent, and my girlfriend Liza were partying in a nightclub in Thailand, Bangok. There, the Dj from the place, Doug, I think, told us about a island where we're we could do anything"
"This island" Twilight said.
"Yyyup" Jason said, making Applejack remember from her brother "We were fucking hyped about, and where came here by sky diving. Our first moments here were awesome, the rest had gone bad shit crazy. Were were captured and separated, and as far as I know, only one of us died. Vincent. The rest you girls can figured by yourselfs, I think"
"I see" Twilight said, kinda understanding his situation.
"Jesus, I just want to get the fuck out of here with them and never fucking returns" Jason said
"Hmm, mister Jason, can I ask for a favor" Fluttershy ask.
"Sure, what's up?"
"Can you, you want, stop cursing so much? Please"
"Ohh, sure, sure. Sorry"
"Thanks" Fluttershy said with a smile. As they get to the top, they saw the very old radio tower, and by the looks of it, it was very, very fragile.
"Ok, let's...hold up" Jason said, stoping the girls "Snake" He points to where onthe snake, and they see it close tp the stair to climb the tower. Jason pick up his gun and point to the reptile, until Fluttershy go to hes front, raising her arms.
"Wait!" She said "You don't need to killed it. Let me talk to him"
"Wait, what?" Jason saie confused, and Applejack put her amr on his gun, putting away with a smile.
"It's ok, Sugarcube" She said and look at Fluttershy "Go on, Flutter" Fluttershy give a smile and go talk to the snake.
"Sooo, she can talk with snakes?" Jason ask, looking at Applejack
"No" Twilight answer "She can talk with all animals"
"Ok, you girls are weird" Jason said, and look at Fluttershy, who was crouching and about to talk with the snake.
After "talking" woth the snake, Fluttershy, turn to the other with a smile "It's okay, now" She said "Her name is Jimaya, and she isn't going to hurt us" Hearing this, the others procced to walk at her, and Jason as very confused by this girls, principally by "AAAHHHHHH"
"Fluttershy!" Twilight said, and they run at them. Fluttershy was on the ground, in pain, since thr snake was now bitting her leg with force "Let her go!" Twilight said, pushing the snake away from her friend.
"She said" Applejack said, holding the snake "Let. GO!" With a big push, she lauch the snake out of Fluttershy's leg.
"AHH" Fluttershy said in pain, and was now holding her bited leg. The snake was still close, and was aproucjing fromt he group, but Jason go to the animal and smash it's head with his foot.
"Asshole" He said. Going to Fluttershy, he crounch and check on her "Are you okay?"
"I-I think" She said "She said she wasn't going to hurt us. She said she was going to be our friend. Why did she did that? Why?" She said in tears.
Jason, felling kinda bad for her, look at Applejack "Go with her back to the camp. Me and Twilight are going to the care of this radio tower" Applejack nod in answer, and raise Fluttershy and started to walk with her back to the village. Looking at Twilight, Jason ask "Let's go?" And she nod.
After a bit of climbing, they were almost at the top "Don't look down" Jason said, most to himself than to Twilight.
"Wasn't thinking about it" Twilight said and decided to finally tell him something "Ok, since we are going to work together I think I need to tell you something"
"What is it?" Jason said, stopping and looking back at her.
"Well..." Twilight was thinking in how to explain this to him "You see, me and my friend are not from around"
"Me neither. I'm from California" Jason said.
"No, no. Not THIS exactly" Twilight said "We...how can I put it" She think from a bit, and then decide to said bluntly "We are from another universe.
Jason simply stayed in silence, looking at her with a confused look, until finally say "What?"
After sighning, Twilight decide to explain "In are universe, we lived in a place called Equestria. And, in this universe, me and my friend are ponies"
"Ponies?" Jason ask.
"Yeah, but not only ponies exist there. Exist dragons, minotaurs, etc" Twilight said "Also, there exist various types os ponies. For example. There, Fluttershy is actually a pegasus while Applejack is a normal pony, a earth pony"
"I...see" Jason said.
"Yeah, you probably think I'm crazy, right?" Twilight said, looking away ashamed.
"Hey hey, it's not like this" Jason said, outting a hsnd on her shoulder "I mean, yeah, this is kinda...crazy. But, I don't think you are crazy, ok?" He said with a smile.
"Ok" Twilight said, smilling a bit "Now, how about we fix this radio tower, huh?"
"Yeah, sure" Jason said, and continued their way to the top. Getting to the top, they see the control box, closed "Okay, let's see is this is the problem" They aprouch the box, but...
"Darn it, it's locked" Twilight said, seeing thr box lockef by a lock. She holds the lock and push it, but, it was too strong "I'm not strong enought. But, looks like it's fragile"
"Wait, hold on" Jason said and pick up his machete. With the back of is machete, he begins to beat at the lock, and he break it "Awesome!" Opening, they see a thing stuck in it "This must be the scramble"
"Well, then we just need to remove it" Twiligth said, and removed it "Okay, so what now?"
"Let me try something" Jason said and use some buttons inside "Aaaand...done" He said, done with it "This should do it, I think" He said, snd suddenlly, he received a messange from his cellphone, and it was from the old lady of the general store, saying that he did a good job turning on the radio tower and that she got a deal on 6P9 pistols and STG-90 machine guns "How the hell did she got this number" Jason ask looking at Twilight, who simply shrugged.
"Let's just go down" Twilight said, and start making her way bsck down.
"Wait" Jason said, opening his bag.
"What?" Twilight ask, and go back to his side, seeing what he was looking for. He then pick up a rope with kinda a hook on it "What is this for?"
"Zipline" Jason simply answer and walked to one of the cables that lead to the ground "Come one, I do things like this with my friend a lot" Putting the zipline rope on the cable and the other side on his belt, he descend to the ground, with a cheerfull scream, where Applejack and Fluttershy were waiting for them
Twiligth pick up the zipline rope from her bag, and put it on her belt and on the cable, like Jason "Well, here goes nothing" After a deep breath, she start descending "Wooooo..." She was kinda scare, since it was a rope that wasn't letting her fall, but soon the fear turned into joy "Uuhuuuu!" She said with a smile. When she was close to the floor, she unstuck the zipline rope from the cable, making her fall on the ground.
"Wow, Twilight" Applejack said, helping her get up "Are you ok?"
"Of course" She said with a smile "That was soo cool" She then remember something important "How is Fluttershy?" She ask worry.
"She's ok" Appleajck said, pointing to Fluttershy, who was sitting on thr floor "The snake wasn't poisonous, she is just still a bit down by what happen, but she is fine"
"Well, that good to now" Twilight said, still a bit worry for her. Suddenly, they see Dennis aprouching, now with a gun on his back.
"Nice ride, huh?" Dennis said with a smile, and she and Jason walk to her.
"It's done" Jason said.
"Good" Dennis said, and look at Jason "Show us your map" Jason than picks up his tablet, and Twilight and Applejack joined to see the map. Fluttershy was still sitting on the ground, hesring what they were saying. Opening up the map app, Jason see that now a part of the island was visible "You see? Everything you need to know has been revealed by the radio tower" Dennis explained to them "Shops, adventures, the island call for you all, my friends. And, like you four, the shopkeepers are from outside. They will use the radio tower to do bussines and reward you fou with weapons for every tower you free"
"Ohh, thats cool" Jason said.
"Also. A true warrior must hunt" This caught Fluttershy attention.
"Hunt?" Fluttershy ask "Like, animals?"
"Of course" Dennis said "After all, from what exactly you all would get skin and meat to..."
"WHAT?!"
Author's Note
After a LOOOOOOO...(some days later)...OONG time without a new chapter, here is a new one.
The Basics part 2 - Hunters of Hunt
"Why? They didn't do anything bad!" Fluttershy said, against the idea of hunting innocent animals.
"Please, calm down" Dennis said to her "Hunting is the natural order of things"
"Look, I'm kinda with her in this" Applejack said.
"Yeah, me too" Twilight also agree with Fluttershy.
"Yeah, Dennis. Maybe this isn't..."
"Friends" Dennis interrompting Jason "Do not fear you instincs. Society may have taugh to how to fail and to be scare, not nature"
The four friends looked at each other, not sure of what to do, but they knew what was right, but it doesn't mean they all were confortable with the idea "You three do the...hunt" Fluttershy said, felling bad and walking back to the village "I'm going to do something usefull"
"Fluttershy, wait" Twiligth tried to stop her, but it didn't work.
"Don't worry, I talk to her" Dennis said, putting his hand on Twilight's shoulder "Now, Jason, select you hunting ground"
Jason stared at his map for a time, until found the perfect spot, by his eyes "Here" He pointed.
"Now, if you four wish to save your friends, you all must know the jungle" Dennis said, giving a list to Jason "Animal skin and leather will allow you to carry many weapons and equipments. Plants can be mixed to create potent medicines that can heal, enhance your sense and more" Twilight was someponie, or someone in this occasion, that loved to learn more, and certanly this would be the knowledge that she would most hate "Go" Dennis said, pointing to a street that lead somewhere "Return to me once you have mastered...the jungle"
"What does that mean?" Jason said confused "What are we suppose to do?"
"Listen..." Dennis made a pause and out his hand on Jason's chest "...to your instincts" Taking his hand off, he walk back to the village.
After sighing, Jason look at the paper Dennis gave to him. It was a list of what they needed to pick up. 2 green plants, 2 red plants, 1 blue plant and 2...boar skin Ah shit Looking at the two girls he say "Well, let's get this over with" He walk in direction of a vehicle parked nearby "Come on, let's use this car"
Twilight and Applejack looked at each other, before walking to the vehicle Jason's entered. Opening the back door, they sit and Jason start driving to where they would learn, all by themself, how to hunt.
Fluttershy was very bad, for not being able to hunt. She just couldn't bring herself to do it. Her whole life she was helped and take care of animals, she couldn't simply just...kill a poor animal.
In the moment, she was sitting on the ground and seeing the monkeys playing. They were trying to make her smile, after she speak of her problems to them. She felt good to see that this island had friendly animals, also, she wanted to know this "Hurk" they talked about. He seems a nice person, for being friend with almost every monkey in this island "Hello, Fluttershy" She heard Dennis voice coming from behind her, ane she see him a aprouching.
"Oh, hi" She greet him with a smile, and he sit by her side, also watching the monkeys play.
"Hehehe, they sure are friendly, hm?" Dennis ask her, who answered with a smile and a nod "I can see why you have dificulties for hunting animals like this. They sure have their beauty"
"Yeah" Fluttershy said "I'm sorry for not being able to do it, is that, I help a lot of animals and take care of so many of them that I..."
"Can bring youself to kill anyone of them?" Dennis completed her sentence, and she nod "Hmm, why don't you me a little about you and the animals? Maybe there is a way to help you, with this dificulty"
After thinking a bit, she decides to tell "Well, it all starts back in my home, Ponyville"
"Ponyville?" Dennis said and giggle at this name "Well, this will be a interesting tale"
After a quick drive, and quick stop by a abandoned house to spoiled some crates, by Jason's recommendation, they arrived at, by what looks to bem, a little farm, with various types of plants around and some boar walking around "Ok, everyone pick each thing for the list for themselfs. I think is better this way" Jason said to the girls "!'m going for the pigs" He said, preparing his pistol "Better get the worse out of the way" He ran after the animals.
"Well, I think is better that we start with the plants, don't you think?" Twilight ask her friend.
"Yeah, I think so" Applejack said, and pick up her machete "Let's go then" She then go after the necessary plants. Twilight pulls out her machete as well, and go after the plants.
She first go to a green plant that she saw, and cut it with with her machete. She saw Applejack going for a red plant and Jason running after a javali and shooting at him, and killing it. He aprouched it and crouched by his side, machete ready to...she looked away before he do what he was about to do, and saw another green plant. With all the green plants, she go after a red plant she saw. Cutting it, she just needed 1 more red and 1 blue "How you doing, Twi?" Applejack ask her friend, passing by her with green plant in hand.
"Good, just need one more of this and a blue one" Twilight said "And then...the skin"
"Yeah" Applejack said, not a bit happy by the idea of skinning a animal too "At least, Jason is doing well" She said, looking Jason about to skin his last boar, and looked back at Twilight quickly "By Celestia, I have a felling this island going to make us nuts" Twilight simply nod at this "Well, I'm going after the blue one and...then the boar. See ya" Applejack then go look after a blue plant. Alone were she was, she start thinking about having to skin a animal. Since she saw Jason doing it, maybe she can ask him for picking some skin for her No, I need to do this by myself She think to herself. She knew that, if she wanted to learn how to survive in this island, until she find a way to go back home with her friends.
"Interesting" Dennis said, after listening of the relation that Fluttershy have with animals "Now I can clearly see why you can't do it"
"It just..." Fluttershy tried to think in what to say "I want to help my friends, I really want, but...how can I kill and take the skin of a animal, when my life was all about taking care of animals!"
"Yes, I see" Dennis said, thinking in everything she said. "But, you don't need to be afraid or sad by killing them, my friend. This is their purpose" Fluttershy looked st him confused "We, Rakyats, hunt since the old days, but not for fun, but because the animal skin to build equipment that help us survive and give us a advantage on our battles and their meat is to feed our people" Fluttershy stayed in silence "They born to die by our hand and help us fight, so, my friend, you don't need to feel bad by killing them"
Fluttershy think of what he said. If this is true, then they must know about this, right? "But, they are happy for this happening to them?" She ask him" and he stayed in silence by a short time.
"No one would be happy by knowing that they purpose is to die. Some of them will run, and others fight" Dennis than put his hsnd on her shoulder "But the necessary must be done" He then take his hand away. Fluttershy started thinking for a little while "But, to make you feel better" Dennis said and looked at her "Some warrior, before skinning the animal skin, they forgive for what they had done to him and thank him for his skin and meat and prayed for his soul, to be sure that he can rest in peace"
"Really?" Fluttershy ask.
"Yes, I do it myself" Dennis said "So, do you want my help to hunt?"
"Well, I..." Fluttershy was nervous for this suddedly question, and didn't have sure what to answer.
"Ok, Twilight, you can do this" Applejack said to her friend, who was crouched by the side of a dead boar and with her machete in hand, just starring at the dead animal. Since Applejsdk already gor everything, she decided to help her friend "Just, breath, close you eyes and...do it"
Breathing slowly, Twilight raise her machete ans closed her eyes. Bringing the machete down, she start skinning the dead animal, fighting the urge of barfing. Finishing, she put the animal skin on her bag, and get up and open her eyee, not wating to see what left of the animal "Celestia, that was horrible" She said, breathing slowly.
"You did well, Twi. Congrats" Applejack said with a smile, with her hand over Twilight's shoulder.
"Thanks" Twilight answer with a smile "Hey, how do you think Jason is going?"
"FUCK!!" Jason's scream get the girls attetion.
"Trouble!" Applejack said, and both girls run to his aid. The scream came from the river, and by getting there, they see on the botton a alligator that was spinning with...Jason, who was desperatly stabbing him "We need to do something!" Applejack said to Twilight.
"But what?" Twilight ask, and then remember their gun "Oh" Picking it up, they aim at the predator, doing their best to not shot on Jason "Okay, prepare to..." She stopped when she see the animals stop spinning and Jason turn it over and did a final stab on it's neck, before kicking it away. Jason swim to the top, and started to breath heavily, and the girls help "Jason, are you alright?"
"Yeah, yeah, I just..." Jason said getting up, and put his arm on his left arm "Fuck, my arm" Looking at his arm, they see the alligator teeth mark, that sure did damage "Thank god I killed him before you girls go pick the blue flowers, right?" He said, trying to light up the mood.
"Well, have more carefull next time, Sugarcube" Applejack said "Twilight go pick up your blue flowers, I'm going to help Jason here"
"No, no, it's okay" Jason said "I can take care of this myself, don't worry"
"Are you sure?" Applejack ask, and he give a nod "Well, okay then" With this said, Twilight and Applejack jumped on the water, looking for the blue plants. When they found and pick them up, they swim back up and found Jason, with his arm in bandages. So, it was time to return to Dennis, with Jason only commenting.
"Is in this times that I wished Fast Travels existed"
After a trip back, with the necessary itens and some lot they found, they get to the village entering, were Dennis, who know had a gun in his back, was talking with Fluttershy "Do you think she still bad?" Twilight ask the others.
"Don't know, Twi" Applejack answer.
"Well, I have a felling she does, but not for the original reason" Jason said, making the girls confused.
"Why do you say that?" Applejack ask, and Jason point to what Fluttershy was carrying, that appeared to be "What the what?" It was skin.
Running to them, Dennis was the first to greet them "Hello, my friends. Did everything had gone well?"
"Yeah, we got the plants and the animal" Jason answer
"Good" Dennis said with smile "Then bend nature to your will. I will teach you four"
"Wait, before that" Twilight interrupted Dennis "Fluttershy, were did you get this skin?" She was very confused.
"Oh, this?" Fluttershy said, looking at the skin "Well, Dennis helped me to hunt them"
"What?" Twilight and Applejack said together, in surprise.
"Your friend have a natural talent to hunt" Dennis said putting a hand on her shoulder "She just needed help discovering and to not being afraid of this talent, anymore"
"After what Dennis told me, he took me to a close boar area, and helped me hunt them" Fluttershy explain "It was hard doing it to the first, but the second was a bit more easy. Also, the plants wasn't much of a trouble to find"
"Wow" Jason said, felling proud for, like Twilight and Applejack who smile at her.
"We were waiting for your three return to procced. So shall we?" Dennis ask them and they agreed. With this, Dennis started teaching how to mix the green plants into serynges, that could heal them when necessary. Fluttershy did much better in this, since she was acostument into using plants into medicines, thanks to something she learned for Zecoria. Next, he teach them how to use the boar skin to upgrade their bag, making it possible to carry more things. They had no problem on this, but they had a fellling that Rarity could help them a lot in this moment.
With this done, it was time for the last lesson "One last thing. The tatau on your arm, it is a sign that you all are special, that you four have the soul of a warrior" Dennis said, and the four give a quick look on their tattos "You four progressed along the path. Let me show how to add to them" The four now completely look at them "With each tatau, a skill is mastered. You can choose to learn skills in three diferent areas" Twilight was getting more intrigated in this Tataus "Now, I will teach you four the takedown"
"Takedown?" Twilight repeated what he said, as a question, and Dennis explain to them. He explain it was a art of taking your enemies down in silence, not giving them a chance of reacting, also adding that exist many forms of doing a takedown. Twilight now understood well what it is, and so she felt a small burn, that more incomodated than hurt, in her left arm. Looking at she she saw something interesting. A symbol was shinning in her arm, and quickly dessapeared, leaving another tatau on her arm, a shark. It wasn't just to her that this happened "What the..."
"Holy shit" Jason said in surprise.
"As you become stronger, with each new skill you learn, the tatau will grown" Dennis explained to them. He then procceded to teach some new things to them. He teach them how to slide on the floor, making possible to dodge shots, or even escape place quickly, and also teach a little strategy about grenades, that before telling them he had to explain what was a grenade to the girls first. He said that, a good way to a grenade explode right were you wanted, is to "cook" them, by oulling the pin and holding it for a fell seconds before throwing. As they learn this skills, more tataus appeared in their arms.
"What kind of magic is this?" Twilight ask
"Hehe, this, my friend, is simply..."
*Trim-ri-ri-rim Trim-ri-ri-rim* Before Dennis could explain, a noice came from Jason, thsr took a cellphone from his pocket. Pressing a buttton he wondered who it was "Hey, Felipe. We driving to the outpost near Amanaki. We have three girls with usa. One of thr Americans, and two from that weird girls with colorer hair. Come have some fun"
"What the hell?" Jason said.
"Nooooooo!"
"Let us go, you meane!"
"You brute!!"
"Liza!" Jason said, recognizing one of the voices.
"And Pinkie Pie and Rarity!" Twilight said, worry.
"Oh shit!" The pirate hang up, noticing the mistake he did.
Looking at Dennis, Jason and Twilight said in union, in determination "We have to get them back!"

Rescue of the Laught part 2 - First of Many Battles Ahead
As the bullets start flying, Twiligth go to behind a barrel and took aim "Ok, now to push the triggeeeEER!" The gun push her strongly to the floor Wow, he wasn't lying about keeping steady Returning to her positiong she hold the gun, stronger this time, deciding to press the trigger more gently this time, and work fine this time. The problem was that every time she hit a pirate, she couldn't help but fell bad inside. She was taking lifes. Yes, life of bad people, but the point still stand. She never expected to be doing click What? Her weapon wasn't firing anymore. Click sounds were the only thing coming from pressing the trigger. She return to her cover and wondered what was the problem. But then it hit her, when she remembered what Dennis teached her "Out of ammo, of course!"
"BITCH!" A pirate without shirt jumped on her with a machete in hand and madness on his eyes. Twiligth fighted for her life and hold his hand, as he was trying to bring the machete down to her throat. She was doing her best, but she felt she wasn't going to win "Hahahaha. Bye bye, you... !"
"AHHH!" Jason suddendly appeared and drop the pirate on the floor and Twiligth just watch as Jason cut the pirate's throat. As the pirate hold his cut throat, Jason help Twilight "Ahh fuck. Are you all right?" Jason ask.
"Y-yeah, thanks" Twiligth answer, trying not to see the dead pirate. Yeah, she already killed pirates now, but they were distance, while this one was by her side "This is getting..." Suddendly, a small thing fall by their side. Twiling was confuse of what it was, but Jason knew exactly what it was.
"SHIT!" Jason grab her hand and run away from it, as the thing exploded and destroyed their cover
"WHAT WAS THAT!" Twiligth ask, as they dodge bullets.
"Grenade!" Jason answer. Getting behind the cabin, he release her hand "Fuck, this was close"
"Yeah" Twiligth said, sweating like crazy. She put a hand on her chest, felling her heart jumping like crazy I'm going to hate felling this
"You okay?" Jason ask, seeing her.
"Yeah, juust fine" She answer sarcastically "And you?"
"Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine" Jason answer with a fake smile "It's just... fuck, I never though that shit would hit the fan so quick!"
"Yeeah... me too" She agreed with him, with not much sure of the meaning of what he just said "But we can't give up now" Picking her pistol, she look at Jason "For our friends" She raise her fist
Jason look at her and breath relaxed. Holding his Ak47, he nod "For our friends" He raise his fist "Ready?"
"No a bit" With this, both tennagers release a scream, rushing in their enemies.
After a time of combat, it was over. The pirates stop coming and Twilight could finally rest. She was sitting on a crate and resting while Jason was on the ground, breathing with his eyes closed I need to find Applejack and Fluttershy... please they be ok Twilight said and start looking for them.
"Twilight Sparkle!" A Rakyat call her. Looking at the one that called her, she see a Rakyat at one chicken coop "You're friends are here!"
Upon hearing this, Twilight Sparkle didn't lose time and run to the chicken coop. After thanking the Rakyat, she enter the chicken coop and see Applejack with her eyes closed, hugging Fluttershy, who were crying on her chest, with one arm. She aprouch at them slowly and crouch by their side, putting a hand on Applejack's shoulder to
"Don't move a fucking muscle" Applejack pointed her pistol at Twilight, who were surprised and scared for a second. Upon opening her eyes and noticing who it was, she drop her gun "Twilight... thank the goddness you are alive" She said with smile, almost crying.
"Me even more" Twiligth said smilling, with a hand on her shoulder "Is she hurt?" She ask concern about Fluttershy.
"No. Well not physically, at least" Applejack answer.
Twilight put a hand on Fluttershy's shoulder "Fluttershy?"
"I killed a dog" Fluttershy simply said "It was bitting Applejack and he could killed her and I simply... shot him" Sadness was obviously noticed on her voice "I hit his neck... I heard him crying while he slowly... he slowly... "
"Fluttershy!" Twilgith grab her shoulder and turn her to look at her "It wasn't your faullt! You acted by instinct. Something that this island is forcing us ti do" She stare at her eyes while speaking every word "If we wish to save our friends and then get the Tartarus out of here, then we must do what have... to be done" Flutterhsy simply stared at her "And for this, I going to need you two. So, are you with me?" She extend a hand to her, with a gentle smile.
"I... I... " Fluttershy struggle with her words, trying to extend her hand and hold Twilight's hand... but "I don't... " Seh couldn't find strenght " I don't thing I can" She sadly said, and Twiligth close her hand and get on her feet.
"I undertand" Twilight said with a sigh.
"LIZA! IT'S ME!" They head Jason screaming "EVERYHTING IS GOING TO BE OK, LIZA!" They exit the chicken coop and check on Jason, seeing him banging on the cabin's door "THEY'RE ALL GONE, YOU'RE SAFE NOW!" They aprouch at him as Jason took distance, running at the door and bashing open the door
"Jason!" Twilight said worry and she and the other help him up "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine" Jason said to them, and then notice someone important "But you should be more worry for someone else" He point at the girl tied up on the bed with duck tape in ehr mouth, who was crying of happines.
"PINKIE PIE!" The girls said with happines, running to untie their friend. When she was free, Pinkie hug all them, while crying of joy "We were so worry about you" Twiligth said.
"Ditto" For a while they just stayed there in the hug, while Jason analysed everything inside. A table with radio equipment and a notebook, a small kitchen with a fridge, a "guns for sale " closet, like the one he found in the village, and a bed. But, he didn't find what he was looking for "Excuse me, Pinkie Pie, right?"
Pinkie release her friends and look at him "Yes, and who are you, mister?"
"Jason, Jason Brody. I'm working together with your friends" Jason answered.
"In this case" Pinkie jump on him hugging him strongly "Thank you so much, as well, mister Brody" She said with a hug.
"No problem, but I would like to ask about..."
"The outpost near Amaniki is under attack " A conversation was heard through the radio adn they all start paying attention to it "Where is the American prisioners and those two chick? "
"One is still there, but we lost the two others "
"What?!? "
"What?" Jason and Twiligth said in union.
"Those bitches escaped on the west side of the fucking island. I'll tell you about it when we get there. With this, the conversation end.
"She escaped" Jason said, kinda happy but still worry. The girls follow Jason as he leave the cabin.
"My friends" Two Rakyat apruch at the group "You all are worthy of the tatau!" One said with a hand on Jason's shoulder.
"Worthy to walk the Path of the Warrior" The other said, and so they continue their way.
Dennis appeared in front of the tennagers "We found two of you guys friends at the colonist's house" He said with a small smile.
Thank the sisters Twilight think in relef.
"Doctor Earnhardt to the west. But don't worry, it's safe there" Dennis afirmed "The Doctor will be waiting for you" We this, he walk away.
"To the west?" Jason said, wlaking to Dennis "Did he tell you which friends?"
"No, but, we will keep continuing searching for the others. I will radio you all if we hear more" Dennis said "Keep you head up Jason, the tribe is very impressed with you four" With this he go away.
Jason then look at the others "Now what?" Appleajck said.
"Simple: we find this Doctor and our friends that are with him" JKason said "But first, if you girls excuse me" Jason run to a open barrel and satrt barfing inside
"Is he sick?" Pinkie ask worry.
"No, no, is that we did some very nasty... things... and..." Twiligth said as she watch the dead pirates that the Rakyats were dragging. Pinkie couldn't stop looking with her mouth open, felling abit of nausea. Applejack simply was looking away with Fluttershy. Twilight on the other hand couldn't hold any longer "Oh, Heavens" She run to the same barrel that Jason was barfing and throw her guts out with him This will be a horrible adventure
Rescue of the Laught part 1 - Recognition
It was time. They locations from two of Twilight's friends and one of Jason's friends as been revealed. Now, it is time to rescue them.
They enter on Dennis's vehicle and he drive to the pirate's outposts. On the way, Dennis explain what the outposts was, saying that "the outposts are strongholds found throughou Rook island" and that "Vass's pirates hold them to control the surrounding area"
Awesome Twiligth think sarcastly and sigh.
Dennis explain that rescuing their friends and capturing the camp would kill two pigs with one stone (a term that made Fluttershy a bit unconfortable) since they were in war against Vaas. He also added that capturing it would make things easy to them.
Suddendly, another vehicle passed by them. But, instead of red vehicle with humans in red, it was a regular one with man with tattos inside.
"Who in the truck?" Jason points to the jipe that passed by then.
Dennis said that they were Rakyats warriors. Ones who live in the heart of the island. He also said that the tattos on them would help get their trust.
Jason procceced all he heard "I apreciate the help, but i just want to save Liza and my friends... and my brother"
"Me too" Twiligth said "There isn't another way we can do this?"
"This is the only way to get them back alive" Dennis answer them "You four escaped the slave camp. You four survived. We are all equal, and that the difference lies in those who do not act" They arrived, so they get off the vehicle.
"All right, let's do this" Jason said, and the tennagers leave get off the vehicle.
For a while, the four teenagers were thinking in a plan... but they had no ide of what to do "So... any ideas?" Jason ask
"How about sneaking around" Twilight suggested "We go in two teams. Me and Jason in the right side of the camp and Fluttershy and Applejack on the left side"
"No a bad idea" Jason said "We can kill them one by one that way"
The word "kill " send chill down the girl's spine, principally Fluttershy "Do-do we really n-n-need to ki-ki..."
"Hey, relax, Sugarcube" Applejack said to her friend, trying to calm her down "Jason, do we really need to kill them?"
"Is them or us, unfortunatly" Jason said "I don't like the idea either, but, what else can we do?"
"How about we simply knock them down?" Applejack suggested.
"Yeah, I think this work too" Jason said "Let's no waste more time"
"Okay, let's do this" Twiligth said, and everyone nod.
"Let's go, Sugarcube" Applejack said and grab gently Fluttershy hand, who follow with a not so confrotable look.
"She really like using that word" Jason said.
"You should see her brother" Twilight said "So, how do we do this?"
"How about..." Jason start thinking "Let's watch from the distance and see how much of them are?"
"Yeah, it could work" Twiligth said "Let's go" With a nod from Jason, they procced with their plan.
As Fluttershy follow Applejack in silence, she panic on the inside. They were behind what looked to be hen house. They were crouched and moving slowly. Fluttershy knew that any wrong move would "Wait!" Applejack raise her hand. Fluttershy wonders what it was "I can hear a pirate close by"
"W-what do we do?" Fluttershy ask. Looking at the floor, Applejack pick a rock from the ground, throwing at the savana close by.
"The fuck?" They heard the pirate and he walk to where the rock was throwed "Show your self!" With him distracted, Applejack aprouch and give him a neck lock, dropping him on the floor. Fluttershy just watched as the pirate fight for freedom, but then he stopped moving.
"Good dreams, you scum" Applejack said, releasing him. She look at Fluttershy, who had a face of panic "He is alive, don't worry" She aprouch at her, putting a hand on her shoulder "Now, let's..."
"Grrrr"
"What is Ah!" Suddendly, a dog jump on Applejack, attacking her "Get off!"Applejack fight for freedom, doing her best to stay quiet. While she fights, Fluttershy was froze, not knowing what to do. She create strenght to pick her pistol and aim at the dog... but she couldn't go forward with it. Her eyes were in tears I need to help Appleajck... but I didn't I can... She couldn't bring herself to do this... but, a bite on the arm of her friend and a loud scream of pain changed this.
"I count 4" Jason said, checking the camp with his camera, along with Twiligth, that was using a binoculars.
"Maybe there's more?" Twiligth suggested.
"Probably" Jason said, as they continue checking the camp. They saw the intire camp and saw that it was a small farm. Some han house around and a cabin in the center, where Jason have sure that their friends are inside "Ok, I think we can make..."
"AHHH!" A scream was heard, and the two recognized the voice.
"Was that... ?"
Bang A gunshot.
"Shit!" Jason said, worry on his voice.
"The fuck was that! They heard a pirate saying. The element of surprise was gone.
"So much for stealth" Jason get's up and prepare his pistol "Let's go!" He run in the camp's direction, shooting at some pirates "LIZA! I'M HERE!"
While Jason was shooting at them, Twilight only had one thing in mind Where's Applejack and Fluttershy?! She run to the camp, looking for her friends "Apllejack! Fluttershy!" She call them, but no answer
"GOTCHA!" A pirate run on her, dropping her on he floor. He had a machete on hands and trying to slice Twiling's throat. Twilight was holding his hand, fighting for her life "YOU'RE DEAD, MUTHA FUCKAAARGH!" I bullet on pirate's head put him down, and he was throwed somewhere on the floor.
"Get up, my friend" Dennis, the one who saved her, said and help her get up "That was a close... " Suddendly a alarm was heard "Dammit, here come reinforcement"
"Reinforcement?!?" Twilgith said in despair "I need to find my Fluttershy and Applejack!" She was about to go look for them, but Dennis hold her arm.
"This wouldn't be recommended" He said, and Twilight look at him "More pirates means more trouble to rescue them. Rakyats are here, meaning that Flutter and Jack should be safe. But if you wish to save the one that was caputred we need to defeat those who are coming. Don't you agree?"
After thinking a bit, Twiligth nod, looking at his eyes determined "Ok then"
"Here" Dennis give to her the Ak47 he was holding "It will help" Twiligth pick it up and hold apropriatly, inspecting the machine "Still remember what I said about Assault Rifles?"
"Yeah" She said, pushing the operating rod "Keep aim steady, not hold the trigger for to long and aim for the head to save ammo" Said this was making her worry for herself.
"Fast learner, good" Dennis said with a smile, with a hand on her shoulder
"THERE THE FUCKING SAVAGES!" Pirates arrived "THE BITCHES AND THE CALIFORNIA BOY IS HERE TOO!"
"Now, to the fight!" He picks up another Ak from the floor "RAKYATS!" He raise his rifle "CHAAARGE!" And so, the first of many more battle for the teenagers begin.
Twilgith breath to relaxe Celestia She close her eyes If you are watching me at this moment, forgive me for this sins Then open her eyes determined But I won't leave my friends to die in this Tartarus With this, she begin to attack.
